Phone stuck bootlooping and volume down + power not working.....what can i do?
How long is it accessible before rebooting?
You might connect it to your computer, and ready a command window with the command:
adb reboot bootloader
Then as soon as the phone boots up and connects hit enter and run the command. You might be able to sort circuit the loop in that fashion.

Here's my dilemma. I flashed CM7 RC4 to my n1 last night, now it is stuck in a loop of the boot animation and will not proceed any further. I'd boot into the bootloader, but my power button's been dead for a month, ADB won't recognize my phone to reboot-bootloader. Am I boned?
Pull the battery, connect your phone to a charger then hold the trackball while re-inserting the battery. Make take a few attempts, but it should eventually boot into fastboot. You could also hold volume down instead of the trackball if you just want hboot...

Now i'm getting the battery indicator flashing green/orange. I can mess with it until I eventually get it charging solid. Is there any quick workaround for this?
Now I'm in fastboot. Is there a way to get into recovery without power button?
Is your bootloader unlocked?

yes. indeed it is. If it helps, I have the latest CWM installed.
Place a copy of your recovery image in your sdk tools folder, connect via fastboot and type:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
(use the real name of your recovery image)

What steps should I take to force recovery mode if I have an EVO? I've tried holding volume up while power but it vibrates three times and does nothing. I'm stuck in the boot loader screen.
*-**EDIT
I was able to fix it doing a hard reset.
Turn the power off. If your HTC EVO 4G is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
Hello,
I got one S5830, it was locked by wrong pin. I was unable to wipe with recovery because of stucking in it. Vol+/- not working at all. And couldn't enter download mode. So I made jig and phone entered download mode as planned, but after flashing via Odin, it started to blink with backlight and stopped booting. I unplugged battery and put it back. Phone starts with Samsung logo, blinks briefly 1-2 times and reboots again.
Jig doesn't working anymore, just power on phone and bootloops with Samsung logo. Only ramdump mode works.
If I plug it to PC while booting it only blinks with backlight, Odin can't see it, Device manager too.
Is there any way to fix this device without service center?
Thanks in advance.

I can't enter recovery, can't use any other mode but ramdump. Looks like vol buttons works because i can reach ramdump. But if I try to boot other mode, it only blinks logo and bootloops as I wrote in top.
So this morning I was having issues with my phone and accidently wiped the whole systems. Now it has no OS on it and it just reboots to the White HTC logo screen and does nothing. I've tried all morning to use SDK and ADB to sideload a ZIP to it to fix this problem but ADB wont recognize the device. I've done EVERYTHING I can think of. Does anyone have some ideas? Cuz I'm stuck.. without a phone which I need for work.. -Sincerely WithOutAPhone.
Which recovery are you using?

Hold POWER + VOLDOWN under a bright light, when the phone reboots, keep holding the VOLDOWN button, that should get you back to bootloader, at which time you can access recovery, and either adb push or adb sideload.

Yeah I got it fixed, I had to use Fastboot to relock my bootloader and then use the RUU.exe and now all is well.
Note: This is a re-post from the Verizon HTC forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533042)
I just rooted and S-off my HTC via rumrunner.
No flash roms install or custom recovery installed.
I wanted to see if I still had CWM from my last root (I returned to stock via http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...highlight=s-on.
So I went into the bootloader or fastboot (I don't remember) and hit recovery. This did not send me to a CWM, but it appeared to be the stock version of recovery. The process took too long (I know impatient) so I turned it off via power button + volume down.
Now I come to you in need, my phone is constantly turning off/on only displaying the green htc text, no red text, then pausing for 8 seconds, then off again to black screen. The whole process lasts 12 seconds, and this had been going on for about 10-15 min atm.
Plugging it in, my computer does not have the time to recognize it with adb, or fastboot.
I cannot use the power button + volume down to go into bootloader, and pressing the power button does nothing.
Please help me.
So here's the update.
Screen is now black, meaning the boot up/down process has stopped.
I have tried these:
A. Hold down the volume down + power button for 20+ seconds.
B. Hold down the volume up + volume down + power button for 20+ seconds and let up on the volume up button when screen goes black.
These two methods results in a single boot up to green HTC text then black screen.
I suspect the device has lost most of its power. Tried it for a third time, the device is now unresponsive and remains at black screen.
Now I plugged the usb cable connected to the power adapter.
The device enters the aforementioned continuous boot loop.
I tried method A and B, and there are no results, the boot loop continues. Now the device returns to the low or no powered state.
Now the device is connected to the computer. The same happens as if it were connected to the power adapter.
Method A and B still do not work.
Results: holding down buttons longer do nothing for me. The device seems to have lost power, but when charged, immediately the device enters the boot loop state.
Note: when doing method A and B the trials were done when screen is on and when screen is off, still no results.
Now the screen is off and not connected to anything. The problem still persists.

If I had to guess I would say your volume down is broken, else it would enter hboot
plug in the power and let it charge all day. then plug it to your pc and try to adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery the instant you here the pc usb ingage.
once you get to the bootloader try and fastboot erase cache followed by fastboot reboot
after your phone boots you should be able to go back to bootloader and reinstall custom recovery

I have a few questions/concerns to this.
1. When I charge it, I can't stop the phone from the continuous boot. I'm afraid that doing this all day might hurt the phone more.
2. Currently I have been charging it via computer (still boot loop), and the computer does not recognize it at all. I think there is really not enough time because the loop duration is only a few seconds.
3. Since the phone is connected to the computer, the commands adb reboot bootloader and adb reboot recovery does not work. Error: device not found.

So what is this method supposed to accomplish?
I did this and the phone stopped the continous boot. However when I tried to go to hboot it went back into the loop. I did this twice, and I'm able to stop the loop with the bright light method, but I don't know what to do from here.
Note: when plugging phone into computer, the loop starts again.

the phone should not bootup with the power cord plugged in from an off state (are you turning the phone back on ?)
turn off phone by holding power 15 seconds under a bright light
plug phone into outlet (not PC) let charge till green light comes on (not Red)
hold volume down and power for 10 seconds ( you should be in hboot)
plug phone to PC choose fastboot hit power
your now in fastboot usb
from here you reflash recovery
fastboot erase cache and reboot recovery
if your still in bootloop I'm at a loss, and seems your hboot is corrupted I think you have to return your phone to Verizon or HTC.

Well I don't know if it is truly off, I'm just assuming it is.
But yes as soon as I plug the phone into the power adapter the red led flashes on, and the htc logo appears, then the loop continues.
I'll probably take it into Verizon tomorrow and update on what happens.
Update: Welp, I gave up. I'm going to get my replacement soon and I'll be turning it into Verizon. Really it's not that bad of a loss since I just wiped the phone, only thing is I lost my screen protector and carbon skin

sorry to hear that mate!!!
I've dropped my phone (ATRIX HD) and now it isn't turning on. The thing is when I connect to charger it shows the green light and start to boot (motorola logo appears) but then it keeps restarting forever. I've read that to solve this you enter fastboot mode and do some modifications. The problem is that I'm unable to enter fastboot when the phone is connected to the pc instead of the charger. Since the power button broke it gets even harder because I have to use a mini screwdriver to press it (and it is very hard to press the volume down at the same time also). So, is there any other way to pass the files needed for recovery or to enter fastboot mode? Thanks!
